“We asked KHE to repair a drain cover which had broken. The old surround needed cutting out completely and partially rebuilding. The work was carried out very efficiently and a good job was made of the repair.”

“Karl was recommended via Facebook, came out, quoted, and returned as promised. He even rang me halfway through to advise on the door handle position — he could have taken the easier option but chose the one that looked better. Skilled and polite, worked to a high standard.”

Where we work
We work throughout Newhaven and across East Sussex, including Brighton, Hove, Seaford, Peacehaven, Eastbourne, Lewes and Polegate.
Good to know
Yes. KHE manages extensions end to end — structural carpentry, steelwork and roofing — so you have one team responsible for the whole build rather than juggling separate trades.
Absolutely. We do both loft and garage conversions, taking the space from bare structure through to a warm, insulated and fully finished room ready to use.
We do both. As carpenters we make and hang bespoke shaker, solid oak and glass-panel doors to fit your openings, as well as fitting supplied doors when that suits the job.
We're based in Newhaven and work across East Sussex — Brighton, Hove, Seaford, Peacehaven, Eastbourne, Lewes and Polegate are all well within our area.
Yes. We lay LVT, herringbone and solid oak flooring, either as a standalone job or as part of a kitchen, conversion or whole-home refurbishment.
Always. After visiting and discussing the work, Karl sends a clear written quote setting out the job, materials and price so there are no surprises.
